The planets are VERY BITCHY right now (which is rare)

[ricochetastroman]

Saturn In Virgo with the New Moon (Sun and Moon) and with Mercury Rx, all together. All opposite Uranus, all making a T-square to Pluto.

Then, there's Venus opposite Chiron/Neptune/Jupiter.

This New Moon in Virgo on Saturn is a whoopie.
Do what you have to do and let this one slide.
Never bitch and complain when Virgo planets are involved. W. Dyer was on pbs last night with his new book, "No More Excuses"
Virgo has no time to hear it.

It will pass in about 4 days

1. Have I given you a hug lately?

I adore you, as well as your perspective and insight.

This Virgo is going into deep hibernation for the weekend. Car broke down again, back so messed up my torso is physically distorted. And when I'm in pain (versus being sick such as with the flu, for example), I laugh! Seriously, I think it's part of my cataplexy syndrome...I giggle when in pain.

That's messed up. :rofl:

Hugs sent your way. I hope you're feeling better and better each day.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

:grouphug:

[ricochetastroman]

23. My god, we're becoming an item here!

thank you for your kind words. Actually, I'm coming up with more and more insight on what all this means; too lengthy for here.
Don't panic anyone; it's more of the same. Keep doing what we need to do, that's all.

I'm better every day, walking 2 miles, driving again, reading and about to gently return to my office!

[midnight]

58. Good for you. Always enjoy your thoughts.

[davsand]

2. Like a kidney stone this too shall pass.

One of my oft used sayings and I felt compelled to share it here...


For those of us with an obvious Venus influence does that make it easier or more difficult? Just curious.




Laura

[ricochetastroman]

24. Nope

Saturn "scoffs" at Venus, sorry.

[FirstLight]

3. You ROCK, Rick!

I have missed you and your posts so much, glad to be hearing the "star-weather" from my fellow Cap again...

So I take it this is NOT a good weekend to try and talk relationship at ALL, just go with the flow and enjoy the Pisces BF and let the weekend be "anti-gravity"...am I right?


ya, maybe just try and take walks and be outside in the beauty as much as I can, that sounds good!

:hugs: welcome back too!

[ricochetastroman]

25. No

it's NOT time to AVOID anything. Just the opposite. It needs to be done with care because as you have no doubt noticed, when you keep things bottled up, Mars comes along and kicks it out anyway...
Virgo is about making hard decisions. Do it.

[Cleita]

4. Thanks Rick. I think I'll stay in bed for the weekend.

:-)

[ricochetastroman]

26. Won't help

lol

[Missy Vixen]

5. And I'm on my way to my 30th high school reunion tonight

Rick, I will do my best to hang onto my temper and remember that I am a good and valuable person, no matter what the Mean Girls in my class might still think...

:eyes:

Thank you for the heads up, and here's a hug :hug:.

[I Have A Dream]

14. Oooo... hope it goes well, MV.

Those people no longer have any influence over you. Yay!!

I hope that you're pleasantly surprised and have a wonderful time.

[ricochetastroman]

27. Talk soon Vix

have fun, damn it.

[get the red out]

6. Thanks Rick, got lots to do this weekend though

Active weekend for me no matter what's up. Family wedding to attend Sunday, and tomorrow I get to run around in pre-big game traffic in the morning on the way to my crystal workshop!

The wedding worries me, my husband's niece is getting married; a lovely young woman marrying a very nice young man. But hubby's uncle and I had a yelling match last summer when he bragged about being a life-long Democrat who would cast his first vote against Obama. He's from South Carolina (I now believe they are even worse racists than my own state), and I firmly believe racism has everything to do with his hatred of the President. I am going to try to avoid him and avoid conflict, without compromising what I believe in. Whew, not good at that, sounds like a rough Sunday with weird planets and THAT! I figure if he would try to drag me into hearing how he hates Barack Obama the candidate at his own brother's funeral last year (a few months before getting into the yelling match with me while visiting and watching a ball game, he remembered I liked Obama and was still gunning for me), he won't worry about what he says at a wedding.

Kind of off topic, but needed to get that out. I need a little luck, praying and courage to maintain decency in disagreement this weekend. As a southern woman, it would be me who would be looked at as an embarrassment getting in any political argument, not the man (as it was last year). That just about makes me want to puke in its own right. But it will be him who is "bitching and complaining" not me, so that might bode well for my making it through this.


Rick, it is awfully good to see you posting and I hope your recovery is going smoothly.

[southerncrone]

22. What I would do w/Uncle S.Carolina is

say the following if he starts up w/the Obama junk.

"This really isn't an appropriate occasion to be searching for a quarrel. I'm sure (insert the couple getting married's names here) wouldn't appreciate you trying to stir up a conflict at their very special celebration." Then walk away.

Makes HIM look like the ASSSSSHOLE......which he is, if he tries to "start something" at these very inappropriate times.

I bet the couple will even thank you later. :)

[get the red out]

39. Thanks Southerncrone

I was looking for the words to use in just such a situation where I could maintain my stand and still not react to his irritating displays. I will try to memorize your words, it's great!

[ricochetastroman]

28. Thank you so much GTRO

What came to mind is this; SINCE PLUTO is so busy changing the COLLECTIVE ON A PLANETARY-WIDE LEVEL
why don't YOU start a little movement of you own REDEFINING WTF A "SOUTHERN WOMAN" is supposed to be.
It's all an act anyway.

Thank you, I am recovering every day, :)

[get the red out]

55. It all worked out!

Strangely enough, or not so strange. Prayer, meditation, and my new crystal that is helpful for negativity; the uncle ended up across the room at the wedding and only talking about the pictures he managed to get afterward. Amazing!

But it was supposed to be an outdoor wedding and our area got over an inch of rain today, so it had to be moved at the last minute. Strange planets indeed, but otherwise beautiful.

[Metta]

7. Good suggestions, as always, Ricko.

always room for dessert.

[ricochetastroman]

29. Ah man

I could use some cheesecake

[Metta]

35. :>

We'll have to dig some up when you're next up this way, if you still want some by then, my friend.

[northernlights]

8. ok, this totally sucks

After 2 years of solid As, I think I just failed my 1st exam.

Hematogy is a total bitch. I understand it. There's not a comprehension problem. There's a retention problem. Really, there's simply not enough time problem. The unexpected new schedule robbed me of 20 hours of study and 10 hours of recup time in the last 2 weeks. That 20 hours of study was half my study time and the make or break I needed for hema. My only hope now is if 'nough other people did as badly as I did, it won't be so bad.

I came home and cried. I am so tired I feel slightly ill from it. I did fine in the urinalysis quiz yesterday and fine in the assessment in work training tonight. I will see her tomorrow in lab and talk to her then. Now that I know her teaching/testing style, I may be able to adjust my studying to be effective in the new tiny study time. Otherwise, I'm looking at dropping out to avoid failing out. Either way, that would be the end of the line...

[ricochetastroman]

30. As I said before, things are NOT so bad in your chart right now

You hang in there, the classic translation of Transiting Saturn over your Mars is FRUSTRATION.

It will pass soon. Regather your energies - don't give up.

[northernlights]

36. It's so good to have you back among us, Rick

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[ricochetastroman]

45. It's good to be back

weren't no fun

[rosesaylavee]

9. Strangely, I am having some good experiences...

Not that I am complaining or wanting to jinx it and not everything is perfect but have had some nice work developments the last few days and my Sag hubbie had a good art opening tonight and a possible commission from out of the blue.

Knock on wood.

[I Have A Dream]

13. That's great to hear, rosie.

I hope that it keeps up! I'll knock on wood for you too. :)

[ricochetastroman]

31. EVERYBODY: Even though these planets are bitchy

they are GREAT ENERGIES; they're called life! Hell, when have we ever been shy about saying things are going well!?

[u4ic]

10. More like going out of my mind

:silly:

That transiting Saturn-Uranus opposition is right on my natal Uranus/Pluto-Chiron/Saturn opposition (1966 baby) in the 6th & 12th houses, which is the opposition of the kite in my chart. Everything in my chart (planets, asc/desc, MC/IC and NN/SN) hits that kite.

T Chiron/Jup/Neptune are hitting my N asc/desc, and soon to be opposite my N Sun.

T Pluto is trine my N Sun, and very soon to be conjunct my N moon.



Erm...I think I'll need that straight jacket a bit longer than 4 days. :P LOL I'm only an amateur, but I think I'm taking some pretty big hits (and I believe, for the better).

[I Have A Dream]

12. You may be an amateur, but you're a natural at astrology, u4ic.

I wish that I had your gift.

Sorry that everything's being hit.

I really should go check out my chart. Actually, maybe it's better that I don't know; I don't have the option of staying under the covers... :crazy:

:D

[ricochetastroman]

32. Once again, the idea is not to go under the covers

besides the fact that the boogey man will find you under the covers nevertheless.

We need to understand what these energies mean. Wait till 2010 if you want to see something unlike I've ever seen in 31 years.

Most of us feel like hiding, ducking like Mr. Reagan did. This forum is out there; too strong to hide, hell, that's what the freaking repubs are doing anyway; that's how we got in this mess.

[northernlights]

37. well now that sounds ominous

what's coming up that we, ahem, can't hide from under the blankies?!? :silly:

[Kookaburra]

38. I'm with northern on this one

What's coming up? Or do we want to know? I'm afraid I can't handle too much more.

[ricochetastroman]

46. It's a huge huge story

that you'll be hearing much more about.
I briefed it in my newsletter.
It's the Cardinal Cross of 2010.
Look at my recent 2 or 3 issues for the one entitled REVOLUTIONS.

[Kookaburra]

47. I'm afraid to know

[u4ic]

41. Is it the Saturn/Uranus/Pluto T-square?

And it looks like Jupiter might get involved at some point, too. I just picked out a random 2010 date and looked up my transits.

And oh, good grief, it'll be hitting my moon.

:rofl: I just gotta laugh at this point (I may not be laughing then!). I feel like I'm in no-man's land with a big spotlight and bullseye on me. As of late, if there are big aspects happening, somehow they're hitting me.

[I Have A Dream]

44. Yeah, I was kidding.

:D

[u4ic]

40. Hi Dream!

:loveya: :hug:

I'm actually hopeful that the energies are healing for me - I don't find myself concerned or scared. The crazy making part is trying to break free. You know my situation, and the need to start a completely new life is a bit beyond me at this point. Every moment of every day I just want to get out of here.

This past week I've been doing a few day trips (using someone else's car as mine was a write off from the accident) and just feeling that freedom from getting away from the city I live - and loving it. I wish I could just keep on driving and not turn back...sigh.

[Dora]

11. I am having a crazy good, crazy new, uncertain time in my life.

I am finding myself forced into being myself - truly myself - on dual fronts: my marriage, and my job. It's been amazing. As I'm moving through each day, I can see where resisting and feeling anger or other negative emotions about what's happening will only serve to cause more of what I don't like. As I embrace what I truly want, that which I don't want is slowly crumbling away.

There are no drastic changes visible on the surface. There are none of the visible "separations" that Karen Bishop has talked about, but there are emotional separations aplenty, and they're surprising.

I'm fully dedicated to making my dreams come true. I've been telling myself, "I can have it all," and I've been believing it.

[I Have A Dream]

15. Kudos to you, Dora.

Congratulations on having the courage to follow your dreams and for being true to yourself.

:thumbsup:

[northernlights]

18. ok, that's inspirational

I thought I'd reached that point, but this current wave of events has me clinging to old beliefs again. Sliding back into old patters == bad. Letting go and letting it flow == good. Check.

[OneGrassRoot]

19. Perfect first read for my morning. Thank you. :) n/t

[ricochetastroman]

33. PLUTO IN CAPRICORN...PLUTO IN CAPRICORN...PLUTO IN CAPRICORN...

PLUTO IN CAPRICORN...PLUTO IN CAPRICORN...PLUTO IN CAPRICORN...PLUTO IN CAPRICORN...PLUTO IN CAPRICORN...PLUTO IN CAPRICORN...PLUTO IN CAPRICORN...

you said it perfectly, EVERYBODY, read what she said again.

GREAT JOB .... GREAT DORA!

[rumpel]

16. Hi Rick,

looks like you are feeling better...

:bounce:

[ricochetastroman]

34. Hi Rumps

yes, the really hard stuff is behind me. It's still no picnic, but I'm anxious now for rehab.
I walk a lot. I go up and down stairs pretty well.
I got my astrology, I got PLENTY OF INTERESTED ears
What else could a man ask for?
A new heart too?!

[rumpel]

48. your heart is Golden..

just take good care of it...

or it'll bite you :)

[BlueIris]

17. "Virgo has no time to hear it." Yeah, well, that's because Virgo's a sociopath.

Ahem. I mean, "hard charging workhorse with healing on its mind" (cough, greedy fuckwit sociopath, cough).

Good luck, everyone.

[rosesaylavee]

20. Like your Virgo comment

Sounds like my sister - not sure just how thoroughly Virgo she is - but she keeps me very grounded and when I need it, tells me to cut it out. She just doesn't have time for it and let's me know. Which is very valuable to me and appreciated. Of course, she is also one of the funniest people I've ever met so that helps soften the message when it's delivered.

[elleng]

21. Thanks, Rick.

Feeling that way too, kind of.

[MagickMuffin]

42. Well Lucky me, I had a Full Moon for my Birthday on the 4th

What more could a girl ask for, unfortunately it was overcast here, but hey that doesn't mean it wasn't there.


I haven't been experiencing anything out of the ordinary. Today was a Super Duper Day for me, and it will continue into tomorrow. I went through and Initiation Pt. 1today, Pt. 2 tomorrow.
It was amazing and left me feeling truly energized!


"Virgo has no time to hear it." Too broad a brush for me :rofl:

I would listen to anybody who might be experiencing difficulties. As it has been stated, Virgos are Individualist, and I definitely don't fit the typical Virgo mold.


So, glad you are feeling better and getting exercise. That will help a lot on the road to recovery.


:hug:

[Shallah Kali]

43. I feel lucky. all I want to do is go into hibernation

in the past something like this would have me feeling like I was about to leap out of my skin. Pluto is opposite my natal Saturn which feeds into a grand air trine focused on my natal sun conjunct jupiter right where the triple conjunction is doing it's thing. Oh and Saturn opposite Uranus (t-squared to Pluto) are square my natal Saturn and now you tell me those thankfully swiftly moving planets are adding their energy to that mix. :crazy: oh boy, just did my chart and Venus is roughly opposite the triple conunction. Yeah I am lucky all I want to so is sleep!

[rumpel]

49. does it include my Newfies behavior?

all of the walks have been a problem today - concerning strangers..

he loves people and thinks everybody loves him, but:

He could not stand the little girls riding a riser and charged - naturally his strength is more powerful than mine, I tried to hold onto a tree, but he pulled me off and my whole right arm is bruised. I knew, but as the girl stood still, he just let her pet (or wanted her to) him but had his quarrels with the other girl still on her riser. I just did not want him to knock the kids over (I was 99.99% sure he had no intention to bite) and if the tree and the bruise served that it was well worth it. The poor kids apologized - and I told them it's ok - it is probably because he has never seen a riser and does not know what it is...

Next walk. In the parking lot a couple in their minivan, windows open ask the passing me what kind of dog it is, I tell them and my Newfie immediately thinks he can get some loving and pulls, only for their little dog to start barking at him, my dog just jumps up and plants his paws onto the door and peeks inside...very rude behavior! I am so embarrassed and apologize and they apologize, too. Bad aftertaste..

Last walk of the day..getting off the elevator maintenance man with his little son stand outside when the door opens. Everyone is startled and Nefie starts barking at the poor little boy who is less tall than him. I pull him back, and the maintenance man turns and walks away...another bad aftertaste.. He is an Aries - late March

(and to all who send him good thoughts, light and healing energies: Yes he is totally fine now :hi:
Thank you.)

Then our mix - he sees some animal in the bushes run away and gets all exited, and later is so full of it that he totally misses the fact that he's passing a crouched cat by about 2 feet...:rofl: He is a Leo exact birth date unknown but mid August

the Briard is always, a good boy...only shy - no problems - He is a Taurus - late April

tomorrow is another day...

[ricochetastroman]

52. It doesn't infer why the dog got that way

As Stella says below, the energies are just energies. However, when they combine in certain fashions, they lean people/dogs/things towards certain types of behavior. Your free will does override though. Some new astrologers are just full of it though. I try not to fall into that trap, but I still do sometimes. Sometimes planets are very hard to avoid in terms of their darker side. That's just a fact. That's the beauty of astrology, very little is certain except conceptually.

[stellanoir]

50. Oh you silly man

The planets are never entirely bitchy.

They just are.

Our reactions to their dance can always vary wildly of course.

Therein lies the great celestial challenge. . . "do we flip out or rally in facing these potentially transformative energies. . .?"

Hmmm

Thanks for some mighty fine birthday wishes for my Solar return pal.

Yikes.

Kidding

But seriously, glad you are on the mend.

:grouphug:

[ricochetastroman]

53. I really don't recall

mentioning anything about your Solar return...

[stellanoir]

56. You didn't

You only spoke of the next four days which just happened to be inclusive of my illustrious Solar return.

I had a rough Merc retro morning with electrical problems beyond belief. Yet I did a simple but good deed.

Just saw this thread in the midst of those events and "thort" (as they say down under), 'oh great. Thanks for the affirmation hon."

Pluto just stationed on my Saturn to the minute.

I've had a Solar return, along with a Mercury return (Rx), and a Venus return simultaneously.

Are we centered yet. . . ?

"Help mister wizard. . ."

Kidding again.

Still glad you are on the mend.

best as always.

[Matariki]

51. That was pretty much my solar return chart this year

all happily occuring on the cardinal points - saturn/sun on the IC, Pluto on the descendant, etc.

Does that mean I'm going to be bitchy all year!? ;-)

[ricochetastroman]

54. Of course not

nope

[Matariki]

57. Pretty please?

I need an excuse :evilgrin:

Just kidding. Really.

[eilen]

59. Today, (9/22) I hope things go smoother

Yesterday was a doozy. Someone switched my schedule and there were various crossed wires and u turns needed to be made. I visited one lady who seemed to be in an upright coma, she could not keep her eyes open, so much for teaching--- but the issues we were all concerned about had decreased (symptoms of CHF).

I have basically taken a "grit my teeth and bear it" approach to my job right now as my dh is currently laid off and won't be wandering the country looking for work as he is enrolled in some courses at his union hall that will last through to January.

I had a dream the other night that gave me this date: June 3.

Meanwhile, we are looking to save money and pay off our remaining debts (including mortgage).

[Eurobabe]

60. You can say THAT again

MFR is kicking my ass this week, sort of. On the whole it hasn't been bad, but something "bitchy" is happening lately. Everyone is WHINING, COMPLAINING, blah-blah.

Oh, I'll check out the Dyer book, I really like him, he is so inspirational.

Are Virgos getting esp. slammed right now? Late Leos too? Good grief. :shrug:

[ricochetastroman]

61. Yes you are right

The Mercury Rx is especially terse now. It will start changing in about 3 days. Mercury is MIRACULOUS in terms of how things start to work out magically when it goes forward (29th). So, be patient.

Yes, in my opinion, the large gathering of planets with Saturn in Virgo is bunching up more on the Virgo natives. But, you can't look at it that way. It MEANS that there are lots of things that just HAVE TO BE DONE NOW. PERIOD. Just do them, it will pass and it will ease. I'm trying to influence all here, STARTING WITH ME FIRST, that these planets are not out to get you - or slam us.
Keep reminding each other.

America is one lame lazy fat group of "grown ups". This is particularly why these Virgo energies are so "hard" right now.
We're simply out of shape.

I need to hear this every day too.

When we succeed at making Saturn/Virgo energies work, it makes our lives work.
Whiny, bitchy, just like I said, it's called RESISTANCE.

That's what it is.

Resistance - not flowing with what is.

Tell Rick if you see him. :hippie:

[MorningGlow]

63. Ah. If only my mom believed in astrology

I've been absolutely obssessed lately--I feel like I HAVE TO finish all the renovations to the house--the ones I can do by myself, that is. Suddenly. After four years of doing things a little bit at a time. My mom asked why in the world I am knocking myself out and in such a rush all of a sudden. I didn't have an answer for her; if only I could say it's Saturn in Virgo! :D

[ricochetastroman]

66. Ah

Pluto is transiting over your PROGRESSED MOON (Homes, renovations) at 4 Capricorn.
If you are OBSESSED, it's always a big planet.
Pluto.

[MorningGlow]

67. LOL that makes even more sense!

Thanks, Rick! :hi:

[rosesaylavee]

62. Ok. This can be over anytime ...

that is all. 9/29 can't come soon enough.

[BlueIris]

64. No kidding. These transits are kicking my ass. nt

[rosesaylavee]

65. The good stuff I thought I had going... poof.

If I thought throwing a tantrum would change something I'd do it. Arrrgh.
